Between mys sis and I we were able to help mom remain at home until her last year, when we had to put her in a home. It's been two years now since she died. The whole thing was quite hard watching her break, but it was rich too in many ways. I am still processing these last years.

What a beautiful pair of sisters Joy and her twin are. This is a new phase you and she are entering, and like anything new, it will take adjustment and some faith to embrace - but from what you describe, it looks to be a positive and promising move, one where Joy can be happy, safe and comfortable. <br /><br />My heart twisted for the child she was, alcohol blights so many generations (as I know from experience), seems she certainly managed to rise above it all, and went on to raise a strong, compassionate and wise young lady.
